A Wicked movie by 2016? That is both the most exciting and terrifying news all at once. On the plus side, this is a fabulous musical ripe for the screen, but on the downside it's also terrifying to imagine anyone else playing the two leads besides Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.

Toto, I don't think we're in L. Frank Baum's Oz anymore. In The Black Brick Road of Oz, an amnesiac girl who thinks she's Dorothy Gale finds herself in an Oz populated by flesh-hungry witches, zombie scarecrows, and a tin woodman mourning more than the loss of his body.

I regret to inform you all that the entire medium of television irrevocably passed into complete irrelevancy earlier today after CBS announced they were developing a TV series named Dorothy, about a medical drama based on The Wizard of Oz. I am serious.

Two major motion pictures hit DVD this week: Oz the Great and Powerful and Hanseland Gretel: Witch Hunters, but which witches will reign supreme? What the hell is Disney doing to Minnie Mouse? And why is that anime girl spitting on that boy? You can only find out in this week's DVD and Blu-ray releases!

Even though Sam Raimi's Oz the Great and Powerful was bungled from its first shrieking baboon, it did have style. Oz was undeniably gorgeous, and design trickery and innovation shone brightly during the title sequence, which Disney has released to the masses for your ogling pleasure. Watch it here, so you don't have…

Although much of the action in Megan Lavey-Heaton and Isabelle Melançon's webcomic Namesake takes place in the merry old land of Oz, it opens not with a Dorothy but with an Alice. Alice Liddell, to be precise, has gone missing, and the only person who knows where she's gone off to is her friend Charles Dodgson, better…

We've seen a collection of clips and featurettes for Sam Raimi's Oz the Great and Powerful, but we've yet to see one actual clip... until now. Behold the first real look at the ladies of Oz, sisters Evanora and Theodora, wildly accusing each other of collusion. Love the costumes, ladies.

What if you gave everyone in The Wizard of Oz swords, and instead of the Wicked Witch of the West throwing fireballs she throws decapitated horse heads? Boom, Game of Thrones meets Oz. And that's exactly what Warner Bros. TV wants their next big magical series to be.

There isn't much new footage in the lastest spot for Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful, but we do get a few new shots of one witch looking particularly wicked as well as the vicious flying monkeys.

There are a lot of new takes on L. Frank Baum's Land of Oz coming up, including Sam Raimi's Oz The Great and Powerful, and a new animated film featuring Patrick Stewart and Lea Michele. But the most unique takes might come from a new anthology, edited by John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen. Oz Reimagined: New Tales…

Who asked for a sequel to The Wizard of Oz featuring Lea Michele from Glee as Dorothy, and Dan Aykroyd as the Scarecrow? Whoever it is, here you go. The first trailer for Dorothy of Oz looks, well... let's just say unnecessary. The computer animation looks sort of like a kids' video game circa 1995, and the one song…

You've seen the bananas trailer for Sam Raimi's giant, Tim-Burton-looking prequel Oz: The Great and Powerful. Now find out all the details we learned at the Comic-Con panel and follow-up press conference. Find out which Oz characters didn't make the cut, more on that flying monkey army, and whether or not Bruce…

We saw James Franco discussing the finer points of wizardry recently — now watch the first teaser trailer for Evil Dead and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful. Will there be any flying monkeys with boomsticks? Did Army of Darkness actually take place in Munchkinland? We'll receive answers to…

Here is the first ever look at Sam Raimi's Wizard of Oz prequel Oz: The Great and Powerful. Watch as the sexy witch Mila Kunis gives the Wizard a tour of the Emerald City in this behind-the-scenes look from ET. We're absolutely interested in the premise of this movie, but we're still not 100% sold on James Franco as…

The first ever look at Sam Raimi's retelling of The Wizard of Oz shows a super sexy Wizard with his lips parted, played by James Franco. We're not Franco-haters, and we love Raimi — but this looks like The Wizard and his Sexy Balloon Ride of Love. Let's hope this preliminary art from Oz: The Great and Powerful is…

Interesting news about the musical sensation from somewhere over the rainbow. Wicked, the novel and hit musical, is not getting turned into a movie. Instead it's going to get its own miniseries from Salma Hayek.
